What to know about deltoid pain
The deltoid is a large muscle responsible for lifting the arm and giving the shoulder its range of motion. Pain in this area may be due to issues like overuse or injury.
Shoulder Impingement Pain Syndrome: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and a Review of Current Treatment Strategies
The shoulder is an intricate joint, capable of a wide range of movements for both daily activities and physical exercise. This intricate joint is susceptible to various injuries and conditions due to its design. Shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS), also clinically recognized as subacromial impingement syndrome (SAIS), is a prevalent source of shoulder discomfort, which is a spectrum of disorders such as rotator cuff tendinopathy, partial or complete tears, and inflammation of the subacromial bursa.
In-Hospital Exposure and Opioids Prescribed After Total Knee Arthroplasty
Opioids are frequently used intraoperatively and during post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) care in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) cases and are commonly prescribed after surgery despite known adverse effects. This study examined whether in-hospital opioid exposure is related to postoperative opioid prescribing in opioid-naïve TKA patients.
Short to mid-term outcomes of hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement and labral tears in patients with diabetes
The purpose of this study is to report outcomes of patients with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) who underwent hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) at short- to mid-term timepoints comparing these results to a control group of non-DM patients.
Ethical and Regulatory Considerations Related to Regenerative Medicine
The application of stem cell therapies in orthopedics holds promise for the treatment of degenerative musculoskeletal conditions. Advances in cell sourcing, differentiation protocols, and delivery methods have brought the field closer to the point-of-care application of these therapies. Personalized strategies that can target individual cell deficiencies represent the future of orthopedic regenerative medicine, offering the potential for reversing established disease and increased functional outcomes.
